Our Long Island, and Queens, home inspections are performed by trusted, licensed professionals.
Knowledgeable in all areas of a home.
Our Long Island Home Inspection includes the structural components and mechanical systems in a home. We also include a wood destroying insect report (termite inspection) and certification. Home Sweet Home’s inspectors include photos in our reports and get the report to you the next business day. We offer knowledge as well as peace of mind. You will be fully informed about the home during the inspection and we are always available for questions at any time. We perform inspections 7 days a week.Doing inspections on Long Island, and Queens, New York.
Most home inspectors say they provide the best or most comprehensive report in the industry but those reports are less detailed than our reports. Most are canned reports that are filled with filler/fluff information and tell you to hire a professional to further assess the condition. Isn’t that what you hired the home inspector to do, to assess the condition? Take a look at our competitor’s reports and then look at ours. Our inspectors didn't just pass a minimum requirements test to become a home inspector – they actually understand how homes are built and how mechanical systems work.
Did you know a home inspector needs to be certified/licensed by the DEC to do a termite & WDO (wood destroying organisms) inspection when filling out the NPMA-33, the report needed for your mortgage? We are NY State DEC trained and licensed/certified.Schedule Now!

This is by far the best home inspection company on the island. Jim trained all of his staff and is a home improvement savant/genius. He knows everything about everything. He goes above and beyond when inspecting a home you want to purchase. He checks everything and will thoroughly answer any question you have.
I cannot say enough good things about them. They are worth every penny!! Thank you guys sooo much for everything!!

We could not be more appreciative of the knowledge and support we received from Home Sweet Home inspections. Debbie was highly communicative and speedy to respond to our questions. Jim Jacobs is everything you need in an inspector and more. I walked away from the inspection knowing far more than I had before and Jim gave some great tips on how to maintain our new home. In addition to the thorough inspection, we received a comprehensive report that detailed all of Jim’s findings and gave some more helpful tips. I am extremely thankful that we went with Home Sweet Home Inspections.

Debbie was extremely quick to respond and helpful throughout the entire process. Robert thoroughly and efficiently went over the house in significant detail, all the while explaining everything we were seeing. We received our detailed inspection report in less than 24 hours. I would absolutely recommend HSH to friends and family

My realtor recommended Home Sweet Home, specifically Jim Jacobs. He was outstanding! Jim is a true professional and a gentleman with the heart of a teacher. He spent so much time teaching me how to take care of my new home, including things I could do myself without paying for a service provider who would charge me much more. He also advised that I may contact him in the future for assistance. He offered to help me determine if a potential provider is suggesting an appropriate service. He advised me of issues he noted that are not typically covered in the inspection regarding the pool, and even discussed how to care for the particular wood in my home. The report that I received was extensive. It included pictures of things to repair, information about general safety in the home, general information about common concerns in a house, a list of local trusted providers, and a checklist for my final walk-through prior to closing. This inspection was worth every cent! I absolutely recommend Home Sweet Home and Jim Jacobs, and I will certainly contact him in the future for assistance with my home as I have complete trust in his knowledge and his professionalism. Thank you!!

As I first time home buyer with some idea but no real knowledge on what to expect from a home inspection, I allowed the agent to schedule with Home Sweet Home and I could not have been happier. Jim Jacobs was Superb! He was professional, knowledgeable and super friendly, I immediately felt at ease. He welcomed me to stay by his side as we walked through the entire inspection, encouraged any questions I may have had, explained the process step by step and informed me what he was reviewing and any additional informational pieces as it pertained to home. Debbie was friendly and responsive to my questions during appointment confirmation. I received the full detailed report with pictures, which even included additional tips, the next day. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Home Sweet Home to anyone who is in need of a home inspection.

I can not recommend this Company enough! Debbie was very helpful and quick with setting us up with a home inspection on a short notice. Robert thoroughly inspected the house for us in a timely manner. When he transitioned to an interior inspection, he even changed his shoes as to not track dirt in the house, which I think was such a thoughtful idea. Robert as pointed out little things about the house to take notice of for the future that I would not have realized until much later. I definitely recommend Home Sweet Home Inspections!

This business was beyond accommodating, even switching things around to help me out on a time issue, and I was so grateful. Robert the inspector showed up on time, brought a change of shoes for the inside of the house so he didnt track mud or debris into the house from inspecting the outside, and was absolutely through to the T. He explained everything he was looking at and the report i got back was verbaetum what was told to us. It was so nice to know that there was nothing a miss, and i highly recommend this company and Robert for anyone looking to get a good and through inspection at a reasonable cost.

I just had Jim (James) from Home Sweet Home Inspections, inspect a home in Babylon that I am considering buying. Jim was fantastic. He is a personable and professional. He was very thorough. He spoke to us throughout the inspection. He covered everything from the basement to the attic, inside and out. I am so pleased. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family.

As a first time home buyer I am so relieved we went with Home Sweet Home Inspections!
Calling around a few places Debbie made me confident and comfortable in choosing them!
The inspector was so patient with us and was very helpful with explaining anything he found good or bad! He was very knowledgeable and efficient. Look no further, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

James Jacobs inspected a homestead with several historic buildings including an 18-century barn that I am considering to buy. I joined Jim for the inspection, which he encouraged and welcomed. He started at 10 am and finished at 3:30 pm. We did not take a break and had looked at and into everything in the end. His thorough 92-page report was in my mailbox the following afternoon. Jim answered all my questions in the course of his inspection. He pointed to and informed me about numerous things I was not aware of. He and his report have given me a general as well as detailed sense of the property in question and the feasibility of taking it on. I am recommending him and his company highly and without reservation.

Jim Jacobs and Home Sweet Home are great. Extremely responsive, thorough and informative. Debbie in the office was a pleasure to work with. She was very patient and accommodating on the frequent schedule changes we endured as a result of the sellers and their broker. Jim looked at 2 different houses for me and helped me make the right decision on which home to buy. His detailed report also helped me shave some money off the purchase price. I will absolutely recommend Home Sweet Home! Thanks Jim!

Very highly recommend Home Sweet Home Inspections! My wife and I live in another state and trusted the inspection of our prospective 1940s Georgia home with HSH. Stellar report, extremely thorough and easy to work with. Alaina Barrera was our inspector and delivered a highly detailed report complete with many clear and concise points of action. Over 100 pages of a report came to us the next day after her inspection that included accompanying images in a prioritized list of repair issues.
My Dad who has been a general contractor for 30+ years was "blown away" at how efficient and complete this inspection was.
We will use them again as needed without question.

Our inspection completed by James Jacobs was an extremely positive experience. My wife and I could not be more satisfied, and impressed by Jim’s knowledge, professionalism, organization, and thoroughness. Working with Debbie to schedule the inspection was great too!

James Reilly inspected the home I am in the process of buying. I cannot say enough good things about him. He has over two decades of experience. My realtor praised him as the best inspector there is based on experience working with him throughout his own career. Incidentally, I had found James on my own, but then my realtor recommended him as his first pick independently of that. The builder himself commended me on selecting James because of how thorough and professional he was at doing the inspection. My first impression of James immediately transported me from being a little nervous about the whole process to feeling calm, collected, comfortable, and confident in James as a person who I could trust and learn from. He found many little things that I would not have known to look for that are easy fixes and can save my house from potential problems in the future. If you find yourself like me when I was trying to figure out who I could trust with the gravity of inspecting my future home, then look no further. You have found the best inspector there is.

The entire staff at Home Sweet Home Inspections is amazing!
Debbie made it extremely easy to make an appointment, even on only a few days notice. She also sent me my inspection in one business day of it being performed.
I had two different homes inspected, one with Jim and the other with Rob. Both were very professional and thorough. They both answered all my questions during the inspection and walked me through the entire process.
I'd highly recommend Home Sweet Home Inspections to anyone buying a home, especially first time home buyers who are nervous/unsure about the process.

While this could be a stressful situation his demeanor was so comforting and he was happy to answer questions and provide info throughout our inspection. My husband and I would highly recommend Home Sweet Home

I am very knowledgable about certain aspects of home repair, so I had high standards when looking for an inspector. James was extremely thorough and knowledgable and he certainly exceeded my expectations. He even crawled all the way into the very long basement crawl space and found a leak that I am very glad I learned about. Highly recommended!
